hangman by maya binyam is an estrangement story and through her use of audience displacement, binyam puts us exactly parallel to the protagonist. it could have been a mirror!
a quiet and blurry greek tragedy of sorts..
just finished the maggie gyllenhaal audiobook which was so entertaining. so well written and so insightful into the minutiae of being a girl. the magnifying glass she uses to describe her surroundings and feelings! she can't sleep and she can't read! the metaphors!!! so tragic to think how she overcame this but still came to such a sad end :( and even worse to think of how hard she was on herself and how revered she is now
i know it’s kind of a circular response but literally putting in any url is so fascinating . i forgot what youtube used to look like in the early 2000s and it was a delightfully fun little nostalgia tour:)
